You do what you want, but I prefer to keep my engines running for a long time and not risk damage which is why my stuffs been together for like 6 years with nothing but plugs and oil changes.
No sense in calling anyone an idiot.

There's your warning.

Lol with all the vulgar stuff said on this forum daily, I get a warning for that? Idiot means foolish or senseless if you look in a dictionary, and when someone else makes a personal attach first, there's no reason I can't call them foolish....I'm done anyways, this thread is hilarious.

It's not impressive. I was only .4 off of you with a n\a bolt on ls6 limp dicking the launch on a 10bolt. Worst part is your mph....... I'm only 1mph off of you and you have 300 more hp. Again a fully optioned car that I dd. Looks like our mpg is similar.

You can log all the data you want. But my experience and results show a et improvement. The one on my car now is slp unit that has been descreened and ported to a inch of its life.

LOL, you want to compare cars now? A 30 second search shows your "street car" setup....A faceplated T56 plated and a 3.90 gear, besides "weight mods" aka drilled holes all over your car. Everyone knows drivability goes to crap with a faceplated trans. Nice street car. I do give you props for the aero mods under the car though, as I was always curious how they would help.

I'm over this thread and will no longer reply, and apologies to the OP.

LOL......stalker....just shows what you and others know about the streetabilty of a fp'd t56. Alot of people like to cry about that for some reason on the street front. I made a vid of how terrible it is......go look that up. It's been in the car for about 40k. The almost 12yr old 80+k engine keeps getting better too. Yep I've lightened some parts....only parts that bolt to the chassis. What's the big deal? ......not like it has a turbo or anything

Thanks on the aero stuff......not finished yet. I think this thing can run 132 or 133 if I ever get to finish another idea or two......maybe not......the fab 9 might have stolen a mph or 2. Have to wait till I get back to the track to know for sure. Can't tell on the street.

I'm curious about the vents under the hood- specifically the Firehawk hood, and probably the ram air hood too. Has anyone done any experiments with opening the vents that lead from the scoop/nostril to the airbox?

I removed the baffles in my ws6 hood. I wish I had the duct they make to slide in the front of the good to direct the air to the filter. I think the baffle are there to keep water out the. Heavy rains scare me a bit...lol
